Art handbag collection

An handbag as a piece of art...

....You remember my last post was on 15th November ... Look the evolution of this project.

You can see now the new photos...

With this project I would like work in design taking advantage of my skills in painting. I design and make hand-painted bags.

These handicrafts bags are designed and painted by me and sewn by a dressmaker whom respects all instruction in the design.
These handbags are quite original. Each of them is an piece of art, each one is unique because each painting is different. These paintings are made as any painting I do. They are prepared as any canvas before painting and high quality paints are used.

Each bag also has a unique jewel accessory made by a colleague jeweler.



On 5th December 2006 in the Conrad Hotel (Pacific Place - Hong-Kong - Christmas sale) I will be showing and selling my new bags collection.



If you are interested in buying a exclusive handcrafted bag, please call me: 852-2972 2640 or send me an email: miparra@mariaisabelparra.com























Some precautions to help preserve this artwork.

"This hand made bag is composed of good quality fabric with original and unique painting and jewels.

The artwork is inspired by recent paintings by Maria Isabel Parra.

The preparation of the fabric and the technique are the same as those used in creating a canvas.

The painting should not come into contact with chemicals. Avoid contact with water and prolonged exposure to the sun. Wash by hand and gently iron with a cool iron without touching painting."

Enfants du Ningxia



I'm supportting the french-registered non-governmental organization "Enfants du Ningxia" who offer scholarships to children, mostly girls, excluded from the education system. They did it simply, by collecting funds on a Paris bank account, and giving the scholarship directly to the families they selected (this is the toughest part...), bypassing any intermediaries.
"Enfants du Ningxia" 's Website : http://www.enfantsduningxia.org/


In Hong-Kong, we created a T-Shirt with two details of my painting Living Hong-Kong 1 - read my post on Thursday, October 26, 2006 below - to collect funds.

If you are interesting to buy a T-Shirt, please contact Bernard POUS pous@lfis.edu.hk

New Handbags Collection

I'm creating some original handbags.

For this new project, I'm working with a dressmaker who is crewing the very good quality fabric and a jeweller designer who is doing a beautiful jewel for the bags.


Currently I'm painting them. You can see below some photography.


On 5th December 2006 in the Conrad Hotel (Pacific Place - Hong-Kong - Christmas sale) I will be showing and selling my new bags collection.
